Just a couple of sleepy babies and their guard mini, Stanny DeVito.

There are three things I value highly on the farm:

1. Horses
2. Hay
3. ???

Can you guess the third?

Last Thursday I looked around the farm, and took note of how quickly the ground was beginning to dry out. ‘Just get a little drier,’ I thought, ‘and then we’ll be able to get those French drains installed.’

And then I checked the forecast. Nearly 2” of rain headed our way the following week. So I waited for Lee to get home, and pounced. “Hey, babe?” I said. “Oh, boy. Where is this headed?” he said.

And that’s how we came to install three hundred feet of drains in less than two days, which means it probably won’t rain now… right??!

It’s been a bumpy start to 2025, but these two darlings have helped keep me going with a smile on my face. 🥰

Today marks the first day of the High Holy Week - Balaclava. In frigidity we pray, amen.

Many horses view the wash bay as a scary place, so I’ve been introducing Fiji to it through play, exploration, and reward.

All of our stalled horses receive curry comb leg massages from Auntie Jen to increase circulation and decrease stocking up while I muck out. 🥰

Seriously, come ON. Is there anything cuter than baby breakfast in bed?? I submit not.

“Please, miss. Spare a peppermint for a poor lad on this crisp December morn?”

When your path through the double gate system involves three mares eating breakfast: Neigh, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death… 😅

Nesting for a baby as a horsewoman means putting up a shelter for your weanling. 🥹 New lil guy should arrive tomorrow!

Controlling the quality of our hay from soil to baling. 💪🏻

BB loves Misty, but does Misty love BB? 🤔

Monday morning giggles with your favorite tiny terrorist, Stanley.

Promotion Alert! Twig has been promoted to Branch Manager and will receive a raise of… *checks notes* Ah, it appears there is not additional compensation for this promotion. We thank you for your understanding!

It’s chill vibes for our horses at feeding time because they live in an environment that promotes food security.

We love our Kool Kurtains so much, we bought two more sets to fully enclose our barn!

Happy heart.

When the cold snap hits with 20 mph winds, so you gotta bust out the Farm Girl Nunchucks on them fresh ponies.

Would your horse: • Calmly ride around while there is tractor work happening right outside the arena? • Hang out happily munching hay right beside the tractor in their pasture?

After a solid month of patience, persistence, and consistency, I finally have the mares returning their feed buckets to me in exchange for a cookie. The geldings only took three days. 😅

This is the most boring video you’ll watch today. So why are we posting it? - Horses were stalled overnight for the first time in months - Our feed room is an open room smack in the middle of our barn Skip to the end to see our horses calmly standing in their stalls waiting for breakfast. Boring can be good!
